This Black Friday, November 27, Nintendo will release DSi bundles containing pre-installed software to the value of $20. The metallic blue DSi bundle (a new color for the States) will feature Mario-themed DSiWare, while the white is for those with “a passion for brain teasers.”
- Blue version: Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!, Dr. Mario Express, WarioWare: Snapped!, Mario Calculator and Mario Clock.
- White version: Brain Age Express: Arts & Letters, Brain Age Express: Sudoku, Brain Age Express: Math, Clubhouse Games Express: Card Classics, Photo Clock.
There is no altered price to go with the announcement of these bundles, so we’re guessing the units will retail at the normal $170 price. Of course, it is Black Friday, so check various retailers for the best deals.

This week starts an initiative to bring classic LucasArts titles to the Virtual Console for the next month. Today, Super Star Wars for the SNES is available, however Nintendo also promises its sequels, Super Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and Super Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, in the coming weeks. Considering these are among the top Star Wars experiences out there, you can bet we’re pretty pumped. It feels kind of like when you bullseye a womp rat in your T-16!

The latest Hanabi Festival on the European Wii Shop is ending in just about the most aww-inducing, candy-colored way possible: with Kirby’s Dream Land 3 and Detana!! Twinbee.
These two cute classics are joined by a WiiWare game called ColorZ, which features a color-shifting mechanic similar to Treasure’s Ikaruga in a sort of maze-navigating game. Also on WiiWare this week: Heracles Chariot Racing. And on DSiWare, A Little Bit of … Brain Training Sudoku, which is pretty much exactly what it sounds like.
- Detana!! Twinbee (Turbografx, 1-2 players, 700 Wii Points)
- Kirby’s Dream Land 3 (Super NES, 900 Wii Points)
- ColorZ (WiiWare, 1-3 players, 700 Wii Points)
- Heracles Chariot Racing (WiiWare, 1-4 players, 800 Wii Points)
- A Little Bit of … Dr Kawashima’s Brain Training Sudoku (DSiWare, 1 player, 500 DSi Points)

Nintendo has made a deal with UK TV station Five to fully fund one of its new shows, MCV reports. The Advertiser-Funded Programming deal means that Nintendo will pay for eight episodes of the new Britain’s Best Brain show, which subjects contestants to five tasks, each designed to test a different brain function: “memory, co-ordination, numeracy, recognition and risk.”
Obviously, we suspect Nintendo will use this opportunity as a promotional platform for the Brain Training series. If it were, say, Capcom looking for Britain’s best brain, there would be cause for concern. MCV notes that in-show product placement is illegal, meaning that Nintendo will have to relegate the DS mentions to ads.

This week, the European Wii Shop is granted with a somewhat anticipated new title, and one we’re glad is launching there before it does here. We’re intensely curious about the platform action title Icarian: Kindred Spirits, and the fact that it’s coming out in Europe first means we’ll get to read reviews. We hope those 100 soundtrack downloads are claimed by now, by the way!
Also available for download this week: Let’s Catch on WiiWare, and some more Brain Training on DSiWare.
WiiWare:
- Icarian: Kindred Spirits
- Let’s Catch
DSiWare:
- A Little Bit of … Brain Training: Maths Edition
